Do not forsake the fellowship

I really need to get into a small group.

I've been listening to mp3s of the sermons from VCC's series on The Creed, specifically the Nicean Creed, and a comment was made about the importance of unity within the congregation. A unity of purpose, a unity of spirit, and I got to thinking. Lately I've been feeling more and more that there's something missing and I can't help but think that it's the loss of connection and community within my spiritual life. I have some very good and close friends, but over the past year we just haven't had time to get together and hang out. What's more, the close friends that I have don't share my same perspective on faith. While normally this is one of the things I enjoy about them, they keep me grounded and offer alternative views, there are some situations I'm struggling with lately that I just can't discuss with them, they simply don't understand where I'm coming from I think. I want very much to grow in my walk with Christ, and as the verse says, "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." I need some brothers in Christ I can turn to, and that I can trust to hold me accountable.
